Venia was talking about the cause of her journey.
Elvin's attention was automatically placed on the great adventurer who led the entire human world.
The pace of exploration exceeded the limits of the known world. This was the prerequisite for his father, Furman Garriott's dream of finding the end of the world.
"A pioneer adventurer from the Old Continent? Defeating the various dangers and terrors of the sea and bringing his wife to explore the borders of the known world. How powerful and … romantic! "
Venia wasn't surprised by the look of fascination on Elvin's face as she continued with a smile.
She smiled and continued, "Hehe, that's right. Mr. Jeros is indeed a powerful and charming adventurer.
But his wife doesn't seem to be an ordinary person either. She told me many secrets of the human kingdoms. "
After a short pause, he told Elvin a name that sounded like a thunderclap to Elvin who was listening attentively.
"That's a beautiful lady with the surname 'Faletis.' If I remember correctly, this surname should belong to the royal family that you are loyal to, right?"
For the royal family of any country, the situation of using the country as their surname would only appear on the current king and his immediate family. The range was not large.
"A beautiful lady with the surname Faletis who accompanied the great adventurer?"
Hearing Venia's seemingly unintentional description, the figure of a person instantly popped up in Elvin's mind. He quickly asked, "May I ask, Miss Venia, what are the characteristics of that madam's appearance?"
"Oh, appearance … Lake green eyes, very bright golden red hair, and a beauty mole at the corner of her lips. She's a great beauty that even women would be charmed by."
Hearing the lady's appearance, Elvin instantly confirmed his guess.
"That's right. The lady with the surname Faletis is most likely the First Princess who ran away with the 'wild man' in the rumors!!"
This was the most likely guess based on her age and appearance that was similar to that of the second princess, Rivenna.
As for the accidental death four years ago mentioned in the official announcement, it was obviously a smokescreen released by the officials. Or should I say … a fig leaf?
The big Princess's operation was amazing!
Her elopement with the adventurer should have happened much earlier than the official announcement. Perhaps it was because they could no longer hide it, so the officials were forced to announce her 'death' four years ago.
Regardless of whether she was still alive or not, it meant that she had completely bid farewell to the throne of the Kingdom of Faletis.
What kind of impact will this news have if it gets back to the country?
Moreover, the Second Princess, Levina, was his conferred monarch. Was it necessary to inform His Highness that her sister was still alive?
What was their real relationship like? Did His Highness know that the Eldest Princess was still alive?
Furthermore, he might be the adventurer with the fastest progress in exploring the world map!
How significant would it be to a country?
How much did the royal family know about the great Princess' husband, Geros?
My head hurts! '
However, the First Princess' problem could be put aside for now. Even if there was a follow-up storm, the Second Princess would have to deal with it.
Elvin had too many questions that he wanted to ask this girl. He knew that he wouldn't be able to find another opportunity like this.
The other side of the sea, the kingdom that existed in legends, the borders of the world that humans explored … Every term made the 'adventurer's blood' in his body boil.
Therefore, he asked the question that concerned him the most.
"Then, nearly two hundred years ago, why would someone come out and make a deal with a group of adventurers regarding the 'Golden Compass'?
Do you know who the mysterious person was? What was his purpose? Was there any secret hidden in the 'Golden Compass'? "
Hearing Elvin's question, Venia revealed an interested smile.
"Oh? Hahaha, what is Mr. Garriott trying to do by asking about that person? "
Elvin sharply noticed that the girl's tone of 'Garriott' was a little heavy. He immediately realized that the girl might know more than he thought.
And how could a person who knew the secret of the 'Gift of God' from the distant past be an ordinary mortal girl? Although he had long realized that Venia wasn't simple, Elvin still couldn't see through her.
Therefore, his answer was much more cautious. He deliberated for a moment before saying,
After deliberating for a moment, he said, "As a descendant of the family that was influenced by the 'Golden Compass,' I feel that I have the right and responsibility to investigate the secret behind this item. I even want to see the mysterious person who made the deal with my ancestor. "
Venia gracefully finished the last mouthful of caramel pudding and gently got up to greet Elvin.
"Let's go. Let's go out for a walk. In such a crowded place, even just talking about that name could cause irreparable effects on the ordinary people here.
I do know the identity of this' mysterious person, 'but whether you have the right to meet' Him 'will depend on your own ability. "
"Name? 'Him'? "
Elvin stiffened slightly. In the Alliance language, the pronunciation of this title was different. He could easily distinguish the change in Venia's words.
He solemnly got up and followed the girl out of the restaurant. The two walked side by side along the bluestone path by the river.
While walking, Venia also told Elvin about the legend of 'Him', or more like a fairy tale.
"Since the beginning of time, the great gods have ruled the 'Golden Kingdom' …"
In Venia's narration.
The 'Golden Kingdom' wasn't in the Old Continent that Garriott once thought it was; it wasn't in the Peacock Islands at the border of the Eastern Sea; it wasn't in the New Continent that was in full swing in this era.
It wasn't even in the Shattered Star Sea that was filled with countless mysterious islands, secret realms, and extremely active mysterious forces that were just beginning to explore.
Instead, it was at the end of the Shattered Star Sea to the west, where the Storm Route began. It was also the last barrier between the humanized world and the natural world, the known and the unknown!
It still maintained the most primitive appearance of human civilization thousands of years ago. Humans and gods lived together.
Gods and humans made a pact.
The great gods were the rulers and guardians of the kingdom, and humans were the servants, worshiping and worshiping the gods.
This relationship had been maintained for a long time, long enough to break the history books of the Old Continent several times.
Among them, there were a total of two gods who ruled the 'Golden Kingdom'.
One was the Sky Goddess' Kulutena '. She was a natural wind spirit, the God of Freedom that could never be bound.
The other was the Ocean Goddess' Thetis', who shouldered the natural responsibility. Since birth, she had guarded the ultimate secret of this world and was also bound by this secret at the same time.
The 'Golden Compass' was related to this Ocean Goddess.
After guarding the secret for a long time, she hoped that the right person could crack this secret and get the 'answer', so that she could be freed from this heavy responsibility.
So at the beginning of the Age of Exploration, Thetis came to the Old Continent (Source) with the largest population, the most prosperous economy and culture, and the most orthodox representation of the human race in this world, and sent her certificate.
When a compass had been far enough and the exploration of the world had reached the required level. After crossing the New Continent and entering the Shattered Star Sea, it would guide a path to the 'Golden Kingdom' for its owner.
In addition, according to Venia.
In fact, there were a total of thirteen 'Golden Compasses'. The first great navigator and adventurer to reach the 'Golden Kingdom', the husband of the Great Princess, Jeros, had one in his hands.
The rest were scattered all over the world, in the hands of explorers and large forces.
When the thirteen Golden Compasses gathered, a door could be opened.
Through the 'Golden Kingdom', one could enter the door to another world. As for whether the world's greatest secret really existed behind it, Venia did not know.
Because even the guardian of the secret, 'Thetis', had not been there herself.
However, although it had been nearly two hundred years since she sent out the first compass.
But the gods had enough time and patience to wait for an answer that could only be answered by history and even civilization.
However, compared to the Ocean Goddess who put the secret she guarded first, the Sky Goddess was more concerned about the ordinary people living in this country, whether their peaceful lives would be disturbed by outsiders.
Under the will of the Goddess, Venia's trip to the New Continent was possible.
After Venia said what she wanted to say, no matter how Elvin asked, she did not say anything about the rest of the secret.
"Mr. Elvin, I can only tell you this much. Maybe you can explore the rest yourself.
However, that Mr. Jeros is already on the path to collect the thirteen Golden Compasses. You don't have much time.
In front of the two Goddesses, his strength may not be much, but he is an existence that you are far from being able to fight against! "
The girl stood on the viewing platform in the middle of the river connected by a stone bridge and turned to face Elvin.
"This is my last advice for you to answer my doubts. I'm about to return to my hometown, the 'Golden Kingdom'. However, it's a pity that I can't go to your and that lady's hometown, Faletis. That was supposed to be the last stop of my trip to the New Continent. "
Elvin was anxious and blurted out, "Why don't we go now?"
Venia said with a faint smile.
"Do you want me to stay?"
However, there wasn't the slightest hint of romance in their tone. They both understood what each other meant.
Elvin wasn't someone who couldn't move when he saw a beauty. What he wanted was Venia's understanding of the world that was clearly ahead of everyone in the Old Continent.
It could be imagined that if a modern person with a deep understanding of the world map didn't need the title of a doctor or professor, even if it was just a junior high school geography teacher or even a world geography enthusiast.
Back to the era of the Great Geographical Discovery of Worlds 15-17 on Earth, new land, main sea routes, world-famous gold mines, ocean currents … Following the map, the pace of exploration and colonization of the world would advance at the speed of light!
This knowledge was priceless to the countries of the New Continent that were paying a huge price to explore the world!
Venia naturally understood as well. To be honest, the two of them were only 'strangers' who had met twice. Her initial goal of getting close to him wasn't simple.
Now, she had told him so many secrets of the 'Golden Kingdom'.
Anyone with ambition couldn't turn a blind eye to their own value.
However, 'Venia' was obviously … fearless.
The faint romance between the young man and woman disappeared, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little hostile.
